The Heart of the Ozarks Half Marathon is an awesome running event that brings together runners from all over Southern Missouri and the midwest. There’s a race for everyone. Participants can choose from a half marathon, a 10k, or a 2.5-mile fun run (Mindy’s Run.) Our course is a mix of challenge and speed. Our race support and atmosphere are difficult to beat in a race of our size. The swag and post race food is second to none. Overall, you’ll love our race experience that supports the West Plains Running Club.
